Amazing to think he’s bee a politician for just over a year.
And he is right on trade too.
If this is populism then give me lots more of it!
Trump in a landslide...Hillary Rotten Clinton for prison.

One really wonders did Trump read the Hunger Games trilogy (or knows its pertinent plot details through one of his children who actually read the trilogy).
Which the evil demonic mediawhores are doing a hell of a bang up job! I have never seen anything like the viciousness of the cable news against trump! Apparently the beast is already forming her White House agenda and getting things in order and ordering the drapes for the WH windows! I just pray to God that Trump does trump her!
Trump has been honing his skills in the jungle since they let him out of college. He will PLAN, IMPLEMENT, OBSERVE then ADJUST as needed. In his world your own money and your own ass are on the line 24/7/365. He’ll learn quickly and adapt because if he doesn’t he will LOSE.
The snippets of Trump’s speeches I have seen recently have been much better than his earlier stuff.
If he can stay on message, not get off on personal vendetta rabbit trails, and will pay to run adds absolutely hammering Shillary he should do just fine.
It will take some serious impulse control on his part, but if he wants to win badly enough he will do it.
Like Trump, The Founding Fathers Weren’t PERFECT EITHER!
A few months ago, I wrote and posted a defense of Donald Trump entitled “Why Would We Elect as President a Guy Who...? In it, I attempted to point out that MANY of those we have elected to the White House (as well as the myriad men and women who occupy high positions) have been – like ALL of us – frail, flawed and fallen fellow human beings and, yes, sinners.
My defense of Trump – but, more critically, the vital need to keep the most corrupt candidate to run for the office in my lifetime OUT of the White House – has led me to do further research into the personalities and character some of the men who played pivotal roles in the formation of this country. I wanted to try and learn if some of THEM would have sparked #nevertrump like groups to spring up in opposition. I cite below some of the fairly well documented historical information I have uncovered.
(For the sake of brevity, I have omitted footnotes. If anyone wishes them, please request via email and I’ll send them.)
“The Father of Our Country, George Washington began producing rye whiskey at Mount Vernon in 1797, reaching a peak production of over 11,000 gallons per year by 1799. He was the largest producer of whiskey in the Colonies. Imagine this fine Christian gentleman becoming a producer of – HORRORS – WHISKEY!! You can still buy his original recipe from the folks now running Mt. Vernon. Search on-line for “George Washington Rye”.
Mt. Vernon is regularly picked by #neverwashington and Christian Temperance groups.
“Whatever qualities define a Founding Father in the minds of many Americans, Thomas Paine probably lacked most of them. He was, according to one acquaintance, ‘course and uncouth in his manners, loathsome in his appearance, and a disgusting egoist.’ And yet this new immigrant from England became the voice of the early Revolution.’ His outspokenness at times got him in trouble, and he often found himself enmeshed in colonial scandals.”
“If Ben Franklin was the elder sage of the Revolution, Washington its heroic warrior and Jefferson its rarefied intellect, John Adam was its messy, tenacious, disputatious, verbose conscience. The powerful French minister the Count de Vergennes once told Congress that Adams ‘...has a rigidity and arrogance and obstinacy that will cause him to foment a thousand unfortunate incidents.’ Adams himself once said ‘Popularity was never my Mistress, now was I ever, or shall I ever be a popular Man.’”
When the 5 man committee to draft the Declaration of Independence was formed, they assigned Jefferson who “...had a reputation of a masterly pen” the task of writing the document. Years later Adams admitted that he removed himself from consideration as he was “obnoxious, suspected and unpopular.” As we all know, despite being “obnoxious, suspected and unpopular” Adams went on to become President.
His enemies often referred to Alexander Hamilton as the “bastard boy” . From the West Indies, his mother, estranged from her legal husband, bore him in a relationship with another man. Hamilton went on to provide invaluable service to the new nation, creating and standing up numbers of institutions that exist to this day.
At 70 years of age when he participated in the drafting of the Declaration, Benjamin Franklin was the elder statesman of the move for independence. A successful businessman and widowed in 1774, he was also later renowned as a lady’s man – and the younger the better. During his frequent visits to Europe, first to England before the Revolution to plead the cause of American independence then to France to enlist French aid in the war with George, III, the stories of Dr. Franklin’s love of the freely given attentions of the ladies were legendary. As what we now call a “senior citizen” it’s doubtful that Dr. Franklin was “up” to return their affections in a more than grandfatherly manner. That said, some things are best left unknown.
Here I shall end this truncated tale of the strong, intelligent,principled, yet FLAWED men who loved America – the IDEA – enough to risk death at the hands of a tyrannical king.
If you cannot draw a parallel between them and the strong, intelligent, principled, yet FLAWED man who also loves America – the IDEA – enough to leave his successful and affluent PRIVATE life in what could well be the last opportunity to snatch America back from the tyrants of today, I fear that I have just wasted the 2 hours it took me to compose it and the 10 minutes or so it took you to read it.
And for that I humbly apologize.

“Over the last week, Donald Trump has delivered a series of remarkable speeches that have, in my view, reinvigorated his candidacy.”
The article begins with an erroneous major premise. Trump’s campaign never was off the rails in the first place. The claim itself was a lie propagated by the lying media. Trump has never been behind the Hildabeast during this entire campaign season. Just as the media attempted to derail Trump during the primaries by misrepresenting the facts and push-polling his adversaries, they continue attempting to derail him to this day, propping up a repugnant Hildabeast that no one but the most rabid and deranged Marxocrat has ever or will ever support. Expect this ongoing lie to persist right up to the very day of the election in November, just like the lying media in Euroland misrepresented the facts about the Brexit vote right up to that election. Do not allow yourself to be a sucker ever again to the machinations, manipulations, and mendacity of the Marxocrats and their MSM shills. Even the likes of putative “conservatives” like Hinderaker and his ilk.
Can’t happen. His campaign has no hope. It’s already over. So just for good measure, he needs to stop campaigning.....
Trump is manifesting from the same subconscious process that manifested the trajectory of his life, only at an accelerated rate.
He was dominant and successful, had a lean & troubled period, and then ascended to greater heights and enduring success.
The 2016 election campaign is following the same trajectory. It’s a completely subconscious process.
Hillary Clinton, who at the moment is resting up from the rigors of the campaign while Trump tours Louisiana–she is an elderly lady, after all–can only hope that her allies in the press block voters from hearing what Trump is saying.IMO, that's exactly what the late evening report from Univision represents...an attempt by the MSM to derail Trump's momentum.
They're hoping the "reneging on immigration" meme gets distributed so widely it will cause precious time and effort to be used to extinguish the fire and get the Trump team off track.
We'll see.
Well, I suppose ten years ago people could have wondered whether it was hopeless to expect relief from the corruption, but in my view that was already then Pollyannish. In 2006 we were hopelessly muddled in Iraq and to get into Iraq Bush sold out to every crooked Beltway Bandit going. It was a bonanza for the military industrialist complex and the Washington DC ring expanded another 10 miles and added another million in population - all supported at taxpayer expense. And these folks don't do anything except skim off of the growing expenditures for security until there is nothing left to skim.
It was already going exponentially before Obama hit office. All he had to do was do nothing for us to be in a really big mess. Instead, he made it worse.
TRUMP/PENCE 2016!!!
We are going to work closely with African-American parents and students in the inner cities – and what a big difference that will make. This means a lot to me, and it is going to be a top priority in a Trump Administration.
Trump's going to be a great President.
More movement in the Daybreak Poll: Trump +2 over C, closing the gap with young voters, wealthy voters and trending better with women and hispanics. This poll shows he is 5 points above his low point. Will be interesting to see confirmation of this in the polls that come out less frequently...
